Problems?

• For Windows Users, you may get an error stating:
  • Please find the VBOXMANAGE Binary and add it to the path environment
  • In this case, go to your system's environment variable list and change VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH to VBOX_INSTALL_PATH and that should solve your issues. Just restart your shell after editing the entry
  • Note: you can find the environment variable list on Windows by just typing in the search field for environment variables and selecting Edit the system environment variables
